core.fileMode::
core.autocrlf::
If true, makes git convert `CRLF` at the end of lines in text files to
- `LF` when reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
- writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
+ `LF` when reading from the work tree, and convert in reverse when
+ writing to the work tree. The variable can be set to
'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
- reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
- `LF` at the end of lines. A file is considered
+ reading from the work tree but files are written out to the work
+ tree with `LF` at the end of lines. A file is considered
"text" (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) based on
the file's `crlf` attribute, or if `crlf` is unspecified,
based on the file's contents. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].

Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.bigFileThreshold::
+ Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
+ attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
+ delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
+ slight expense of increased disk usage.
++
+Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for most projects as source code and other text files can still
+be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.

+Currently only linkgit:git-fast-import[1] honors this setting.

core.excludesfile::
In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
'.git/info/exclude', git looks into this file for patterns

add.ignore-errors::
+add.ignoreErrors::
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the '--ignore-errors'

alias.*::
Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
color.grep.match::
Use customized color for matches. The value of this variable

- calling an external 'grep'.

color.interactive::
When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts

take precedence over this setting. Defaults to false.
-commit.status
+commit.status::
A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
message. Defaults to true.

The window size parameter used in the delta compression
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
- to 10.

When there are approximately more than this many loose

pack.packSizeLimit::
- The default maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects

pager.<cmd>::
Allows turning on or off pagination of the output of a
